Notes
From Dead Lists Projects:
Pigpen ends It Hurts Me Too with additional verses. What's Become Of The Baby was played back
from studio tape while the band played space live on stage.
There are two SBD masters of this show in the vault, a pair of cassettes and 140 minutes of reels.
The reels are missing the encore: the reel-to-reel machine was used to play back the tape of What's Become Of The Baby.
According to Ron Ramsey, who saw this show, it was all one long set.
Jerry plays slide on Hard To Handle. Introducing Baby Blue, Bobby says
"This is the home stretch for us. Because we're goin' home."
Source / Mastering Notes:
- Discs 1 and 2 are seamless
- Drop out removed from end of Doin� That Rag at d1t05 6:47
- Reel change crossfaded between Silver Threads and Baby Blue at d2t03 3:39
- Splice in Viola Lee Blues mended at d3t01 10:16
Reviews
Subject: As always, BIG THANKS to the tapers!
IMO, this is great show. The recording is very solid as well, especially considering the year. It's not perfect, but it's a very good sounding 1969 board. The show itself is fantastic. It's no wonder they made it Dick's Picks 26. There is a wide a range of great tunes on here and the band is playing great. Bobby is low in the mix as is Pig, but Bill and especially Jerry and Phil are right up front and killing it. Right out of the gate the Dupree's is solid and the band plays well. Once they get to Cryptical>Other One>Eleven Jam>Other One, they really start to smoke. Then into It's Sin (played only 12 times) which is a real treat, a great Sittin', and later the highlight for me, the Viola>Caution Jam>Viola. Jerry plays a smoking lead at the beginning of Viola and him and Phil absolutely kill it this whole section. We also get a nice Silver Threads and Golden Needles and some other early nuggets like Doin That Rag, Hurts Me Too and Hard To Handle. But the real highlight here, IMO, is the Viola>Caution Jam>Viola...not to be missed!
There is also some great banter between Bob and Bear after Doin That Rag about turning down the drum monitors.
Subject: Parts of this recording are very quiet
Subject: A nice long night
Subject: Following the Velvet Underground
Subject: Raised in a lion's den
How do I come to such a number?
Well the 1st set is like a 30
and the 2nd set is like a 20
I have been pretty much focused on 1971 / 1978
and not to detract from those years but
THIS 1969 SOUNDBOARD!!!
So what are my favorites here
Basically everything.
With a slight tilt to MINGLEWOOD
and SILVER THREADS
Not saying those are the two best tunes here just that everything about those two tunes feeds my jones.
AND IF THE BAND HAS EVER PLAYED WITH MORE PRIMAL EMOTION THAN THIS THEN
I HAVE PLENTY MORE GRATEFUL DEAD AHEAD!!!
